Electric Fleet Mobile Barista Job

The Role
Are you ready to take the future of coffee on the road? We are seeking a high-energy, tech-savvy, and reliable Mobile Barista & EV Operator to pioneer our mobile cafe operations. This is far more than a standard barista role—you are the Captain of our state-of-the-art, 100% electric mobile cafe.
You will be the heartbeat of our brand at high-profile events, corporate campuses, and community races, balancing the precision of a craft barista with the logistical expertise of a fleet operator.
